Penetration mechanics of a beetle intromittent organ with bending stiffness gradient and a soft tip
Hyper-elongated structures and their penetration are widespread among insects, for example, intromittent organs, ovipositors, and piercing-sucking mouthparts. The penetration of thin structures with high aspect ratio without buckling and rupturing is mechanically very challenging. However, this prob...
